I get myself a gig somewhere, whether it's in a club, whether it's in a bar, it doesn't matter, and I just work on New Year's Eve because I always feel it's very symbolic for me for the next year, for the new year.
We probably, as primitive people, made music before we actually had a language, and that's where language comes from.
How can one be a woman and not be a feminist? That's my question.
I could be a housewife… I guess I’ve vacuumed a couple of times.
The only person I really believe in is me.
I'm a culture vulture, and I just want to experience it all.
I don't mind if my skull ends up on a shelf as long as it's got my name on it.
I always say the new album is the best one yet. I always feel that - I really do, because it's the latest and it's the newest and it's a little bit better.
It's amazing to me to see how bands evolve and how they take all their influences and come up with their own sound.
The word 'iconic' is used too frequently - an icon is a statue carved in wood. It was shocking at first, when I got that reference. It was a responsibility, and it's impossible to live up to - you're supposed to be dead, for one thing.
I feel like I have to have a voice.
And living in a metropolitan area which is ethnically diverse, our lives are very complicated, so our emotional experiences are going to be varied like that.
Something's that written out is okay, but it's not always a clear indication of what a person means.
I think it's a Blondie tradition that all of our albums sort of have a wide spread of styles.
